Will Smith's Fart Halts Men in Black Filming

Director Barry Sonnenfeld shared a humorous anecdote on Kelly Ripa's podcast about an incident during the filming of the 1997 movie 'Men in Black' involving Will Smith. Smith, known for his role as Agent J, reportedly released flatulence so potent that it forced the evacuation of the film set for three hours. The incident occurred while Smith and co-star Tommy Lee Jones were sealed in a small chamber designed to simulate a high-speed car scene. Despite the mishap, Sonnenfeld described Smith as a lovely person, albeit with a penchant for flatulence. The story highlights a lighter, behind-the-scenes moment from the production of the blockbuster film, which grossed over $589 million globally.
